The keyboard outputs two characters when a single key is activated.
Hi there,
I’ve been using my Razer Cynosa Chroma Keyboard for about five years now. Until recently everything worked fine. Now it’s acting up—when I press certain keys, two letters appear at once, always next to the key. For instance, pressing B shows "VB" but pressing V only gives "V". The same happens with the G key (GH). It seems like a software or driver issue rather than a hardware problem. Should I consider replacing it? Thanks for your advice!
You could attempt to disassemble it to check for any repairable damage. However, with a rubber dome keyboard, fixing the membrane seems unlikely if it's the root problem. The diagram below illustrates their typical design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_t...ploded.svg. It appears all traces belong to a three-layer membrane, so you’d need to locate the faulty trace, separate the membrane, and try reconnecting it. Soldering probably won’t help, as the material likely can’t withstand heat. Conductive ink could work if you reach the spot. Another option is to purchase a refurbished board with a reliable membrane (same type) and use it instead.
